Why do you even defend them, Vepres? The Tea Partiers are scum, white trash, populistic, slave-moraled scum who, if their God did exist, would deem to sweep them away with fire. They are not our kind.

Yet a majority of Americans believe the average member of the Tea Party movement has a better understanding of the issues facing America today than the average member of Congress.   Fancy that.

A majority of Americans are also downright subhuman.

To be fair to them, they were made so by their owners.

You know, you can disagree with people without totally dismissing them as irrelevant and unintelligent.

You can point out flaws of the positions of those you disagree with without being arrogant (though few on this forum seem to understand that concept).

Well, they are unintelligent, and scum and so forth, but they most certainly aren't irrelevant.  They're a major force in american politics.  But I think you need to remember, Vepres, that these people cannot be reasoned with any more than the Nazis could be.  To not see them for what they are is potentially dangerous.

Opebo and Einzige, I must point out that you are both committing the sweeping generalization fallacy far more than is possible reasonable.

Not that it matters - neither you nor we can stop them.

They're hypocrites, simply put. They demand the evil government get out of their lives on healthcare and taxes, yet open with welcome arms lobbying for Government bans on Homosexual Marriage, Abortion, and not to mention are estatic about sending troops to foreign battlefields. They are selfish, stupid, ignorant, and quite frankly below nearly everybody. They don't favor an end to the Welfare State (as you can see by my image posted above), they DO favor regulations against gays, abortion, drugs, and starting wars.

Actually, it is worth noting that hypocrisy is no problem politically.   If there are enough of you - and there are most certainly enough hate filled white religious racists out there - you can most definitely have your cake and eat it too.  As a matter of fact they have had it so for a long time.

There is no requirement in politics that one be consistent or 'make sense', merely that one wins - gets power.
